Technology to ease delays at border

Passengers entering and leaving the country should soon see a reduction in waiting time at the border.

"We've invested heavily to improve the technology system and equipment to tackle the congestion at ports," said Li Junjie, deputy director of the Ministry of Public Security's exit and entry administration bureau.

Speaking to China Daily in Shanghai on the sidelines of an international conference on immigration inspection and service, Li said the technology used by China's inspection authorities had not kept pace with the sharp increase in passenger inflow and outflow.
